Our world is so deprived of kindness that when someone does something kind it is a huge shock. Our society has lost track of a simple life skill that can change anyone’s day and bring a smile to a face. Although some do still have this trait, many don’t.
Kindness is the one thing that we can all use more of; it is so overlooked in our everyday society and we need more people who will show genuine kindness on a regular day to day basis. One example of this is when we were having a free dress day at school and we had to bring a gold coin donation. There was a person in our class that was going around and collecting the money. I put my coin in and then it came to my friends turn. She only had a $5 note and the person collecting the money refused to let her put it in and used one of their gold coins for her instead of letting her put in the whole $5. That person paid for her free dress that day and even though it was only a small thing, it made a huge difference in her mood that day and later she told me that the small act of kindness had brightened her day making it even better. This story goes to show that a small act of kindness can make someone's day that little bit better.
Imagine if everyone was like this, everything would be completely different, it would change the world forever. This is how kindness can change the world, with small acts that may seem like nothing to you but could mean the world to someone else. Kindness is like a ripple effect, if your kind to someone, they’ll be kind to someone else, who will be kind to someone else, which will then soon help hundred and thousands of people.
We need to stand up and be kind, to be kind to the ones who aren’t so kind to you and make this world a better place one person at a time. Comment below how someone has brightened your day with a simple act of kindness. I believe that kindness can change the world.
